EXCLUSIVE – CROSSROADS MOCKS OBAMA’S 54-MINUTES SPEECH: A Charlie Brown-themed web video that’s likely to go viral jokingly translates what Obama said yesterday in Cleveland against what American Crossroads thinks he meant. Some of the messages: “Blame Bush... Not My Fault… I Can’t Get You A Job, So Get Mad At Someone Else…Vote for me, or you’ll probably die…I need another $5 trillion.” A minute into the 90-second video, a message pops on screen that says: “After four years of the same excuses, eventually they just sound like this.” Then the president’s speech is overlaid with audio of Charlie Brown’s parents going “wah-wah-wah.” The tagline: “Good grief.” Watch: http://bit.ly/KGr6mY.

SNEAK PEEK – “MORE A REPLAY THAN A REBOOT”: The Republican National Committee attacks the president to introducing no new ideas in yesterday’s speech. They juxtapose it against footage of him using similar language in earlier speeches: http://bit.ly/LKIklT. If for some reason you missed straight news coverage of the dueling speeches, here’s a hard-news story: http://politi.co/L9GR8E. The New York Times editorial page, obviously with a very different perspective, says Obama didn’t get the job done: http://nyti.ms/L9LcZs.

EXCLUSIVE – SCOTT BROWN’S DAUGHTERS RECORD FATHER’S DAY VIDEO: Ayla and Arianna tell funny stories about their dad in a feel-good, two-minute web video that caps an intense week of messaging for women from the Massachusetts senator’s campaign. The girls joke about how they used to give Brown coupons on Father’s Day but they forgot to include expiration dates…so he still occasionally tries redeeming them. They are shown in conversation with their mom Gail Huff, who works for ABC7/WJLA-TV, which is owned by POLITICO parent Allbritton Communications Company. The video is the latest effort to humanize the freshman Republican for Bay State voters. Alleigh Marre also starts today as Brown’s campaign press secretary. She’s moving over from the Massachusetts Republican Party, where she has been since January. Watch: http://bit.ly/LKMPwC.

As the ACU PAC backs Hatch, the DCCC makes the case for why Democrats can still win the House and Walker says Romney should be more like Reagan, here’s POLITICO’s Morning Score: your daily guide to the permanent campaign.

WHAT OBAMA IS UP TO: Noon lunch at a D.C. restaurant with winners of a campaign contest. 5 p.m. reception to observe LGBT Pride Month. 6:15 flight to Chicago. Spending the night at their house.

WHAT BIDEN IS UP TO: 11:30 speech to the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Orlando. 1:20 conference call with Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman to attack Romney. Then a 1:45 campaign event there. After, he flies back to Wilmington, Delaware.

WHAT ROMNEY IS UP TO: At noon, he kicks off his “Every Town Counts” bus tour in Stratham, New Hampshire – where he launched his campaign one year ago.

BUS TRIP BRACKETING PREVIEW –

DNC: The Democratic National Committee is holding a press conference at 8:50 a.m. in Exeter, New Hampshire, to kick off their “Romney Economics: The Middle Class Under the Bus.” From an advisory: “The four-day DNC bus tour will make at least ten stops across the six states Romney is visiting. The DNC bus will also stop in: Scranton, PA on Friday afternoon; Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton, OH on Saturday; Madison, WI and Davenport, IA on Sunday; and Grand Rapids, Lansing and Detroit, MI on Monday. Massachusetts and local elected officials and other prominent surrogates will appear on the tour along with the DNC’s Brad Woodhouse.”

MOVEON.ORG: In what they’re calling the “Every Millionaire Counts” tour, thepolitical action group will send members to all six states Romney’s visiting with signs that accuse him on running to represent the top one percent.

AFL-CIO SUPER PAC: At the bus tour stops, including the first one, they’ll attack on Bain and accuse him of wanting to fire public employees.

MONEY –

KOCH BROTHERS TO HOST SAN DIEGO CONFAB: “The Koch brothers’ political operation has increasingly come to resemble its own political party — and later this month in San Diego, it will hold what amounts to its most ambitious convention to date,” Ken Vogel writes in the story leading our site. “Many of the dozens of rich conservative invitees are expected to write huge checks to a pool of cash distributed among Koch-approved groups, potentially boosting the Kochs’ 2012 spending plan beyond their historic $395 million goal. And it’s also a chance for the Kochs to show off their increasingly robust political machine, including a growing voter database project called Themis that played a major role in conservatives’ recent efforts in Wisconsin and in which POLITICO has learned Koch operatives have discussed investing $20 million.” http://politi.co/K7lzEt

OBAMA SPENDING UNPRECEDENTED AMOUNT OF TIME FUNDRAISING: “During the latter half of his first term in office, President Reagan did not hold a single fundraiser for his reelection campaign, and just three for the Republican National Committee. President Obama's total over the equivalent period, through Wednesday, was 164,” Molly Ball writes in the Atlantic. “There's not much to be done about it, at least before the present election is over. But if it seems like all this fundraising must be getting in the way of the president's day job, it probably is.” Cool graphic charts the increase in how many fundraisers each president has had: http://bit.ly/LKHDsx.

FROM THE LEFT – CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORMERS LOSE FAITH IN OBAMA: “He stands to become the first chief executive not to successfully appoint someone to the Federal Election Commission,” Dave Levinthal notes. “The White House floated, then declined to issue an executive order restricting federal contractors that receive taxpayer dollars from “interfering” in elections. It ditched a full-time ‘ethics czar’ position when Obama nominated its occupant, Norm Eisen, ambassador to the Czech Republic. The administration hasn’t responded to a plea to overhaul the FEC submitted in February by good-government types…And he’s made no proposal to replace the nation’s presidential public funding system… ‘We’re seeing daily things get worse,’ said Public Citizen President Robert Weissman. ‘And his failure of action will result in things growing even more worse.’” http://politi.co/LfsJfb

FROM THE RIGHT – MCCONNELL WILL ATTACK OBAMA “RADICALISM”: Senate Minority Leader McConnell will deliver a speech at 11:30 to the American Enterprise Institute on what he sees as the Obama campaign aligning itself with the tactics of the hard-left in its push to roll back Citizens United. The Kentucky Republican previews his message in an op-ed for POLITICO this morning: “Dozens of tea party-affiliated groups across the country learned earlier this year what it was like to draw the attention of the speech police when they received a lengthy questionnaire from the Internal Revenue Service, demanding attendance lists, meeting transcripts and donor information…But the administration’s troubling view of free speech was perhaps best summed up just this week, when Obama’s top political adviser said that if the president is reelected in November, a top priority could be a constitutional amendment to change the First Amendment. The courts have said Congress doesn’t have the authority to muzzle political speech. So the president plans to silence his opponents by amending the First Amendment itself. Now, this is radicalism.” More: http://politi.co/OP57fL.

GALLUP: 49% of Americans say economic conditions in their local area are excellent or good, but only 25% say that about the country as a whole and just 13% say it about the world. http://bit.ly/L0eWtv

TOP TALKER—JIM MESSINA INSPIRED BY HOLLYWOOD: That’s the message of a long-read in Business Week by Joshua Green about the president’s campaign manager. Between leaving the White House and starting at the campaign, “he arranged a rolling series of personal seminars with the CEOs and senior executives of companies that included Apple, Facebook, Zynga, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce and DreamWorks…In two long, private conversations, Steve Jobs tore into Messina for all the White House was doing wrong and what it ought to be doing differently, before going on to explain how the campaign could exploit technology in ways that hadn’t been possible before…At DreamWorks Studios, Steven Spielberg spent three hours explaining how to capture an audience’s attention…An early example of Spielberg’s influence is RomneyEconomics.com… Spielberg insisted that Messina sit down with the DreamWorks marketing team. Hollywood movie studios are expert, as presidential campaigns also must be, at spending huge sums over a few weeks to reach and motivate millions of Americans.” http://buswk.co/KrhHTu

ROMNEY TALKER—SCOTT WALKER SAYS ROMNEY MUST DEVELOP MORE COGENT MESSAGE: “He’s got plans … But I think it’s got to be, narrow it down to a very simple set of messages that embody the larger plan that he has,” the Wisconsin governor Walker said of Romney’s fiscal and economic policy proposals at a morning breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. “I think it’s one where people have to walk away saying, ‘It’s not just a referendum on President Obama’, it’s also got to be … ‘I believe that candidate Romney’s got a plan that I can believe in.’” http://politi.co/NpYu6F

BATTLEGROUND BRIEFING—FORMER NORTH CAROLINA DEM STAFFER SUES: “A former employee of the North Carolina Democratic Party who claims he was sexually harassed has filed a lawsuit against the party and its chairman, David Parker,” the News 14 affiliate in Raleigh reports. “At the heart of the suit is a press conference held on April 19 in which Parker argued against a list of claims made by Adrian Ortega about now former executive director Jay Parmley. In the suit, Ortega said Parker knowingly made false and defamatory statements about him and violated an agreement in which the sexual harassment charges had been settled and the terms of it made confidential.” Here’s the actual complaint: http://bit.ly/LKQiv9.

NOT THE WAY TO WIN – RNC LATINO SITE FEATURED ASIAN CHILDREN: US News reported that the main image on RNCLatinos.com was a stock photo of Asian kids that had been downloaded from Shutterstock.

UTAH SENATE – HATCH WINNING THE AIR WAR: “Orrin Hatch has spent $1 million on TV and radio ads to serve as his final pitch to voters before the June 26 primary. His Republican challenger, Dan Liljenquist, has countered with $152,000 in broadcast ads,” the Salt Lake Tribune reports. “Liljenquist, a former state senator, has contributed $400,000 to his campaign and scooped up $377,000 in donations from others…Hatch has spent $7.6 million since the start of 2011.” http://bit.ly/MVsEML

SNEAK PEEK: The American Conservative Union PAC will endorse Hatch today, offering key validation from the right for the incumbent in a primary he’s favored to win.

NEVADA SENATE – PATRIOT MAJORITY ATTACKS HELLER ON MEDICARE: Patriot Majority USA, the Democratic independent expenditure group, began airing an ad in Nevada yesterday targeting the Republican on entitlements. No word on size of the buy, but they say it will be on TV. From a sinister female narrator: “Jimmie and Dexter have a plan. Work hard. Save what they can. And count on the Medicare they earned. But Dean Heller has a different plan. He voted for huge tax breaks for millionaires…And a plan that would essentially end Medicare – replace it with a voucher program. Seniors would see their health costs explode by $6,000 dollars a year.”Watch the 30-second spot:http://bit.ly/LL3tMJ.Shelly Berkley also launched a new ad touting her support for clean energy: http://bit.ly/ND4TKN.

THE HOUSE –DCCC PUSHES BACK ON CONVENTIONAL WISDOM THEY CANNOT WIN: After Larry Sabato, Charlie Cook and Stu Rothenberg downplayed the odds of the left retaking the lower chamber this week, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee put out a 9-page memo last night arguing that enough seats are indeed in play for them to win back the House. “In 2012, the head wind House Democrats had faced in 2010 has corrected and Democrats now have a neutral political environment,” executive director Robby Mook writes. He argues that they have a better political environment, favorable redistricting results and recruited excellent candidates who are running strong campaigns. Read: http://bit.ly/LpkxWN.

ARIZONA HOUSE – KELLY WILL NOT RUN AGAIN IN NOVEMBER: “Republican Jesse Kelly on Thursday dropped out of the race for Gabrielle Giffords’ former seat in Congress, two days after losing a special election to serve out her term,” the AP reports. “Kelly said in a statement that he decided to withdraw after ‘looking at the results from Tuesday.’ … Kelly lost to [Ron] Barber by six percentage points… ‘This stinks,’ Kelly told his supporters Tuesday night during his concession speech.” http://bit.ly/LQtfA6

PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE – CRITZ TAKES SWIPE AT OBAMA SPEECH: “Rep. Mark Critz, Republicans’ top congressional target in Pennsylvania this cycle, had some less-than-kind words for Obama following his major campaign speech Thursday,” PoliticsPA reports. His statement: “President Obama and others in Washington need to realize that we cannot spend our way to prosperity…we need to address unfair trade deals that ship jobs overseas and enact policies that allow us to take advantage of our vast natural resources such as coal and natural gas in a safe and responsible manner which will lower energy costs and create jobs and approving the Keystone XL Pipeline would be a good first step.” http://bit.ly/LeX65r

NEW YORK HOUSE – GRIMM RACKS UP $321,000 IN LEGAL FEES: “Staten Island/Brooklyn Congressman Michael Grimm’s … congressional campaign has an I.O.U. out with the Washington D.C.-based firm Patton Boggs for $321,000 over a two month period, according to his recently released June campaign finance report,” City & State, a New York blog, reports. “Those fees, which were incurred during the period between April 1 and June 6, are more than twice the $142,000 that Grimm raised during that period. Because the legal fees are simply listed as a debt to the law firm, and are not being paid for out of the campaign’s coffers right now, Grimm’s campaign retains a healthy $1.2 million on hand. The firm is representing Grimm in the unfolding federal probe into his campaign fundraising, which also certainly cannot be helpful to Grimm’s current fundraising efforts.” http://bit.ly/LQBJat

MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE – TISEI PUSHES TIERNEY TO FORFEIT GAMBLING MONEY: “Republican Richard Tisei unleashed a broadside against US Representative John Tierney Thursday, saying his Democratic opponent and his wife should forfeit any money they received from her brothers’ involvement in a criminal gambling enterprise,” the Boston Globe’s Glen Johnson reports. “Tierney reacted with indignation.” http://bo.st/NqcaP3

TENNESSEE HOUSE – WAMP NARRATES HIS OWN AD, IGNORES ISSUES: “Congressional candidate Weston Wamp (R), the 25-year-old son of former Rep. Zach Wamp (R), [yesterday] went up on television with his first ad, “Roll Call reports. “Wamp, who is hoping to unseat freshman Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R) in the state’s redrawn 3rd district, also faces dairy magnate Scottie Mayfield in the Aug. 2 primary…His ad is unusual in that it doesn’t mention the election or the issues animating the contest…Wamp told Roll Call his ad was backed by a one week buy that included $26,000 on broadcast and cable in the Chattanooga media market and $19,759 on district-wide cable systems. He said the buy could be extended.” Worth watching: http://bit.ly/OPwG8M.

COLORADO HOUSE – CANDIDATE LINKED TO MAES 2010 DEBACLE: “Republican voters in Colorado’s new 2nd Congressional district are receiving automated calls linking state Sen. Kevin Lundberg to Dan Maes and his disastrous gubernatorial run,” the Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels reports. “Remember Dan Maes? He was our Republican nominee for governor in 2010, received only 11 percent of the vote and cost us the governor’s office,” the announcer says. Lundberg “faces Boulder entrepreneur Eric Weissmann in the June 26 primary, with the winner trying to unseat Democrat Jared Polis…But let’s not forget that at the time Lundberg nominated Maes few details were known about the candidate. What would emerge about Maes would be damning: his financial woes, his experiences as a cop in Liberal, Kan., and his contention that Denver’s bicycle program was a U.N. conspiracy. Lundberg would eventually pull his endorsement.” http://bit.ly/Lfmfx0
